The Braum's dairy is in Tuttle, Oklahoma, but Tuttle is so small and terrible that they don't bother to have one of their stores in the town.

i like how human activities cause literal earthquakes and the response went from 'NO THEY DON'T STOP LYING' to 'well they are only 2-3 on the richter scale that's not so bad!'

what needs to happen does Poseidon need to rise from the seas and destroy the coasts before people finally go hey maybe stop loving the environment nonstop?

Edit: for the new page here are some more fun facts about Tuttle, OK:
At least Braum's ice cream loving owns. Also a Dr. Pepper float w/ Braum's ice cream is basically the best thing ever on a hot day. For you heathens, a float is like 1/3rd cup of soda/soft drink/pop, 2 scoops of ice cream in a normal drink cup - and you're doing it wrong if you use a loving spoon. Drink that thing through a straw.

Also, they've upgraded the 9/3/2016 earthquake to a magnitude 5.8, making it the strongest quake recorded in the state.

Oklahoma is not Texas. I'm not saying this out of defense, although it would be entirely fair of me to be upset and defending it on principle, but oklahoma is legit culturally NOT texas. White okies are mean as gently caress. that southern hospitality poo poo ends at the red river and the midwestern death stare begins. The reservations are weird and lawless or literally just casinos or soon-to-be-casinos. I met a choctaw nation dude at my last job and he 100% hates going to oklahoma for his tribal stuff. it's not his tribe that's the problem though, it's okies.

His anecdote and my anecdote is evidence plenty that you can't and shouldnt' call oklahoma 'lovely texas' because its more like 'lovely Missouri' or 'lovely kansas'

they deserve earthquakes and worse imo

for sure, they are really bad states, but you can do worse. Start in Little rock, drive to baton rouge, and drive east through florida, turn up into georgia, and when you get to charlotte NC put a bullet in your brain because you've experienced all the worst america has to offer.

i found myself in a nowhere town in OK one day, off i-35 no less, on my way to what would be a really weird day, and getting gas. Getting gas. GETTING GAS. The cashier acted like my money wasn't good enough, people were staring, my texas plates were getting me treated like poo poo everywhere i stopped and dude I've been all over the south and up the southern east coast, and i've never been treated with the kind of hostility I got on that trip. The person I was meeting was in an apartment building with people just sitting outside, staring. Yeah dude, midwest death stare. At least an oklahoman death stare.

At least Choctaw nation is real nice and their casino loving rules, but rural oklahomans can suck a fat one.
